This 10.4-mile, 31-minute route loops through Bedworth Heath and the northern Bedworth suburbs. From the test centre, it heads north-west via Bowling Green Lane to Dark Lane in Bedworth Heath, then north to Newtown Road and the Bedworth Bypass. The return runs south on the 70 mph bypass past the Griff Roundabout cluster, then exits through Pickards Way and Wilsons Lane to Longford. With 19 turns (11 left, 8 right) and 5 roundabouts, this route has the most left turns tied with route 643. Speed limits range from 30 to 70 mph.

Watch Out For

  • Dark Lane. Narrow lane in Bedworth Heath with limited forward visibility from hedgerows; expect oncoming traffic around bends.
  • Smorrall Lane bend. Sharp curves on this rural-style lane; reduce speed and position correctly for bends.
  • Newdegate Road. Residential road in Mount Pleasant with parked cars on both sides creating pinch points.
  • Bedworth Bypass at speed. 70 mph dual carriageway with the Griff Roundabout cluster requiring timely lane changes and exit preparation.
  • Give way on approach to Smorrall Lane. Must yield before joining; check right thoroughly for approaching traffic.

Route Features

  • 11 left turns, tied with route 643 for the most; near-side observation is critical throughout
  • 5 roundabouts plus 7 roundabout waypoints on the Bedworth Bypass section
  • Mix of narrow Bedworth Heath lanes and fast dual carriageway driving
  • 12 sets of traffic signals

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • On Dark Lane and Smorrall Lane, use road position to maximise your view around bends; keep well to the left
  • When exiting the Bedworth Bypass, begin checking mirrors and signalling at least 300 metres before the slip road
  • Through Bedworth Heath residential areas, watch for 30 mph repeater signs on lamp posts to confirm the speed limit
